Bear Grylls is back

who the fuck cares if he is staying in hotels and stuff...
HE IS MAKING A TV SHOW!!! And a damn entertaining one..
Anyone who is devoting a quarter of their time to such things has space to bitch...
Otherwise, quit whining!!!

Someone posted that they think Discovery is trying to replace Steve Irwin who by the way did some really outragiously dangerious stuff and hardly apep from the peanut gallery . Now Bear comsalong and does crazy stuf and many are outraged, I got news for some and that is if you do much of the stuff these guys have done you will be on TV too on the 6 oclock news or in the obituaries. I think Bears technique is basicly E&E and staying at the hotel just might work if you are being pursued by your enemies you can watch the reruns and pick up a few tips.
 
Anyone who seeks to make a living using celebrity status will find themselves critiqued both in their "public performances" and in their claimed resume of accomplishments. Often their own recitation of experiences and background is hyped out of proportion by the people in charge of promoting them. Sometimes the celebs themselves overstate their resume to their promoters. It isn't surprising that people interested in their genre go to the trouble to investigate their claims and corroborate or refute (clarify) the actual facts.

Irwin had no critics? Hmmm... I seem to remember...

Bear has overstated his accomplishments as an adventurer on many occasions. Small surprise then that people take exception to the recitation of that list. Public scrutiny is the price paid for public celebrity.

I watched both of his shows this past Friday evening, and I found them to be interesting and entertaining. The show about paragliding over Everest was interesting in that it was depicted as a train wreck from the get go (my perception, YMMV).


I'll keep watching. :)
 
Little Bear's show is like a horrible rash that just won't stop itching. The sawed off little prick will get some neophyte adrenaline junkie who thinks the woods are "cool" and that all there is to survival is a knife and a cocky attitude killed...period. Yeah, yeah, yeah...he's got a disclaimer. I'm not trying to insult the folks who like his show, I watch it...when I'm bored out of my mind and then it's only to laugh at him. As for his original disclaimer being misleading...nah that would imply lying...it was more like...misdirection. He only gave enough to let your form your own opinion..no matter how much of a twat he is.
But watching his show for survival instructions is like watching a demolition derby for driving instructions.
If you STILL think Little Bear is a good resource....here are three words that'd make anybody with any knowledge about survival shutter: elephant...turd...water.

I agree with you 100%. Les Stroud has multiple knives, GPS unit, cell phone, guns, matches, and tons of other things that Bear Gyrlls does not. If Bear Gyrlls stayed in a hotel, he did it for the best of the show so that he could perform better, and not bored people out of their mind by sleeping all of the time like Les. :yawn:

Go Bear!

Hi,you may say here we go.I know 2 SAS guys one went from regulars,one x reg to T.A. I think the problem of vindication is previously T.A SAS were recruited from ex reg army or serving T.A. (experience assured). Now you can join T.A SAS from civvy street.,Fitness,ability(initially if you are a good map man) .Personality,this counts more than i think we realise.One thing B.G has is the "P" word good or bad.I think every body has very valid points but to appeal to the masses the guts and nuts are lost from the shows .:)
